Actually, you made a good point. The book blurb could have been written much better. Siddhartha is one of those "timeless" books that are worth reading again and again. Sheri, we LOVE comments here!

Siddhartha indeed became the Buddha. Good catch! This book, however, is a fictional allegory, which is probably why the publisher uses the word "contemporary." You are right, Sheri.
